Nassau County's highest ranking police commanders were gathered Wednesday at a luncheon organized by retired police commissioner Donald F. Kane to recognize some newly appointed commanders, and, strangely, Kane himself wasn't there.

I knew both men, and am not a fan of Donald Kane, but Insp Rubin did not deserve the promotion. Regardless of the ruling. The man who got the promotion was also Jewish, even if he was also not qualified.

Unfortunately the rank of Inspector usually goes to those who toe the Dept line, Rubin did not.

Both Insp Rubin , and the later Chief who got the promotion were not the best candidates.

Don't use this as an excuse to judge Comm Don Kane.
